The Environmental Protection Agency has finalized a long-awaited set of regulations regarding proposed limits on fossil-fueled power plant emissions. But these new rules could mean the end of the coal industry as a source of electricity generated in the United States.
On Thursday, the Environmental Protection Agency announced a suite of new rules aimed at dramatically reducing pollution from coal and natural gas fired power plants.
The federal government on Thursday announced new environmental rules for fossil fuel-fired power plants intended to reduce pollution that is harmful to human health and contributes to global warming.
